    There really needs to be an easier way to do this built into the language, but until then, I use my handy CodeBox app to paste in
this whenever I need a weak reference to self:
__weak typeof(self) celf = self;
[self block:^{
  celf.foo = bar;
}];

It's a nifty trick, but Apple, please... I shouldn't have to declare a weak self, I should be able to use self with a predefined symbol for "self" that the compiler will then write the weak self declaration for me.
